Hello, I've been a ghost on this list for quite a long time, since before the development of the USRP. I've always found the idea of SDR really quite interesting.
Recently because of my university studies I have been exposed to both FPGA's and DSP. I've come to ponder "Why use a FPGA instead of a DSP?". It would seem that they are comparable in price. Both generally need proprietary software to program. FPGA seems slightly more flexible and require less supporting parts. While the processing power of DSPs seems significantly greater. I'm interested to find out why the FPGA path was taken? Thanks for your time and effort.
